   10. JRJoe Rogan0:28

       Yeah.

   11. PJPunkie Johnson0:28

       (sighs) I think 10.

   12. JRJoe Rogan0:31

   13. PJPunkie Johnson0:34

       Yeah, I did-

   14. JRJoe Rogan0:34

       What j- what year did you start comedy?

       Oh, cheers, my friend.

   17. PJPunkie Johnson0:41

       Cheers. Cheers.

   18. JRJoe Rogan0:41

       So good to see you.

   19. PJPunkie Johnson0:42

       Thank you so much.

   20. JRJoe Rogan0:43

       And s- congratulations on your success.

   21. PJPunkie Johnson0:44

       Thank you, thank you.

   22. JRJoe Rogan0:45

       It's been amazing to see.

   23. PJPunkie Johnson0:46

       This, this a dream come true, be- just being here.

   24. JRJoe Rogan0:48

       Awesome.

   25. PJPunkie Johnson0:49

       Just the success right here.

   26. JRJoe Rogan0:50

       It's a dream come true for me to see you rise.

   27. PJPunkie Johnson0:53

       Mm.

   28. JRJoe Rogan0:53

       I love it. I love it when I see people start off at the store and just get their feet under them and get their shit together and pull it off.

   29. PJPunkie Johnson1:01

       Yeah.

   30. JRJoe Rogan1:01

       Whoo, it's so exciting.
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   I believe this is,…

   1. JRJoe Rogan15:00

      He dined at Ciro's in '65.

   2. NANarrator15:02

      I believe this is, like, old surf rock kind of stuff.

   3. JRJoe Rogan15:04

      Wow.

   4. PJPunkie Johnson15:05

      Man, the history of this place is crazy.

   5. NANarrator15:07

      Yeah, kind of surf rock.

   6. JRJoe Rogan15:07

      Crazy. But it feels like it when you walk around there. Joan Crawford, Frank Sinatra-

   7. PJPunkie Johnson15:13

      Oh, it was poppin'.

   8. JRJoe Rogan15:14

      ... Ava Gardner, Sidney Poitier. Oh, my God.

   9. PJPunkie Johnson15:16

      Jerry Lewis.

   10. JRJoe Rogan15:17

       Lucille Ball, Ja-

   11. PJPunkie Johnson15:18

       Dee Martin.

   12. JRJoe Rogan15:19

       Ronald Reagan was there? D- Wow. Mickey Rooney. Wow. Crazy with all the people that frequented it.

   13. PJPunkie Johnson15:27

       See-

   14. JRJoe Rogan15:27

       George Burns, Jimmy Stewart, Jack Benny.

   15. PJPunkie Johnson15:30

       (laughs)

   16. JRJoe Rogan15:30

       Crazy.

   17. PJPunkie Johnson15:30

       I, I can't believe the president was in there.

   18. JRJoe Rogan15:32

       Yeah.

   19. PJPunkie Johnson15:33

       It was poppin' like that?

   20. JRJoe Rogan15:34

       It was poppin' like that.

   21. PJPunkie Johnson15:35

       Goddamn.

   22. JRJoe Rogan15:36

       I think it was the spot, and Hollywood was the spot in That Was The Spot in Hollywood.

   23. PJPunkie Johnson15:41

       Yeah.

   24. JRJoe Rogan15:42

       You know? That, I mean, it's such a magic room. I mean, everything about that place is just... It's so set up. It's, you know, all the weird little corridors and-

   25. PJPunkie Johnson15:51

       Mm-hmm.

   26. JRJoe Rogan15:51

       ... weird little places in it.

   27. PJPunkie Johnson15:53

       I remember, uh-

   28. JRJoe Rogan15:54

       Pull that thing up too for me.

   29. NANarrator15:55

       Oh, my bad, my bad.

   30. JRJoe Rogan15:56

       That's all right.
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   Yeah. …

   1. JRJoe Rogan30:00

      And marijuana sort of dissolves any artificial barriers-

   2. PJPunkie Johnson30:03

      Yeah.

   3. JRJoe Rogan30:03

      ... and just makes you look at things for what they really are.

   4. PJPunkie Johnson30:05

      I, I (laughs) , I do allow myself to feel that once a month, but I have to be alone.

   5. JRJoe Rogan30:12

      Hmm. Well, that's probably good-

   6. PJPunkie Johnson30:13

      (laughs)

   7. JRJoe Rogan30:13

      ... you know how to handle it. That's smart.

   8. PJPunkie Johnson30:15

      Ah.

   9. JRJoe Rogan30:15

      It's a good way to handle it.

   10. PJPunkie Johnson30:16

       That's right. I, I, I, I, I get me some marijuana. They be... Because you go to the stores now and they be like, "Oh, this is that, uh, lililac pollywarp." I'm just like, "Look, I don't give a shit."

   11. JRJoe Rogan30:26

       (laughs)

   12. PJPunkie Johnson30:26

       "Just give me, I don't care."

   13. JRJoe Rogan30:27

       (laughs)

   14. PJPunkie Johnson30:27

       "Just give me the shit. I'm gonna smoke it."

   15. JRJoe Rogan30:29

       Yeah.

   16. PJPunkie Johnson30:30

       Just your hybrid and your, uh-... mix, mixed with, uh, your hybrid. So that's your indica-

   17. JRJoe Rogan30:36

       Yeah.

   18. PJPunkie Johnson30:36

       ... mixed with your sativa. I'm like, "Man, I don't give a shit. Just gimme some, just gimme some weed, bro." I don't know nothing about weed like that. So I, I, uh, once a month I'll smoke it, I'll go through all my emotions. I cry.

   19. JRJoe Rogan30:49

       Mm-hmm.

   20. PJPunkie Johnson30:49

       I, uh, I reset.

   21. JRJoe Rogan30:51

       Yeah.

   22. PJPunkie Johnson30:52

       I recharge.

   23. JRJoe Rogan30:53

       Yeah.

   24. PJPunkie Johnson30:54

       And it honestly looks like I'm in a crazy house.

   25. JRJoe Rogan30:56

       (laughs)

   26. PJPunkie Johnson30:56

       I had to film myself one time. It kinda looks like I'm wrapped up 'cause I'm always... I, I start rocking and I'm doing-

   27. JRJoe Rogan31:01

       Yeah.

   28. PJPunkie Johnson31:01

       ... all of this and I'm crying and I'm talking to myself. I'm like, "You ain't shit." And I'm like, "Bitch, please. Please. You got it." And then, 'cause my emotions are all over the place when I'm smoking, so I'd rather just not do that in public.

   29. JRJoe Rogan31:13

       That's a good call.

   30. PJPunkie Johnson31:14

       (laughs)
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   I love him. I…

   1. PJPunkie Johnson45:00

      and I, I think he's actually a good, a good guy." If you sit down and you have an actual conversation with him just, like, off the record.

   2. JRJoe Rogan45:06

      I love him. I love talking to him. He's a, he's a wonderful person. He's just-

   3. PJPunkie Johnson45:10

      Yeah.

   4. JRJoe Rogan45:10

      ... a super genius, just a ridiculously smart person, but he's a human being like we all are.

   5. PJPunkie Johnson45:14

      Mm-hmm.

   6. JRJoe Rogan45:15

      We're all human beings, and you can forget that when you see some dude who's making rockets and-

   7. PJPunkie Johnson45:18

      Yeah.

   8. JRJoe Rogan45:18

      ... and, you know, making electric-

   9. PJPunkie Johnson45:20

      Yeah.

   10. JRJoe Rogan45:20

       ... cars and satellites and fucking trying-

   11. PJPunkie Johnson45:23

       Mm-hmm.

   12. JRJoe Rogan45:23

       ... to fix traffic.

   13. PJPunkie Johnson45:24

       Yeah.

   14. JRJoe Rogan45:24

       You f- you forget that's just a human being.

   15. PJPunkie Johnson45:26

       I also thought he was gonna leave everybody at SNL a Tesla. (laughs)

   16. JRJoe Rogan45:30

       (laughs)

   17. NANarrator45:31

       (laughs)

   18. PJPunkie Johnson45:31

       'Cause the hosts, they leave us gifts, slippers, shoes, hoodies.

   19. JRJoe Rogan45:34

       Oh, that's hilarious.

   20. PJPunkie Johnson45:35

       Sometimes we'll come to work the next, after that Saturday, they, they, uh, we have a whole bunch of catered food. "Oh, this food from Jack Harlow, this food from such-and-such." So I was like, "You know what? What if Elon leave us all Teslas?"

   21. JRJoe Rogan45:47

       Ah.

   22. PJPunkie Johnson45:48

       I was wrong.

   23. JRJoe Rogan45:48

       That's so many Teslas.

   24. PJPunkie Johnson45:49

       (laughs)

   25. JRJoe Rogan45:50

       How many Teslas would that be, for how many people?

   26. PJPunkie Johnson45:52

       I think it would've been, at the time when he came, I think it would've been 22 Teslas, if I'm not mistaken. (laughs)

   27. JRJoe Rogan45:57

       Jesus Christ. (laughs) They probably have a back order on those things anyway. Cars are, I don't know if they've sorted that out yet with new cars, but with new cars, there was a backlog on new cars 'cause of chips.

   28. PJPunkie Johnson46:08

       Mm.

   29. JRJoe Rogan46:09

       There's like a problem getting the chips, the computer chips, which are in every fucking car now.

   30. PJPunkie Johnson46:14

       Ah. What, uh, is the computer chips the, like the, um, so you can know where the car is?
5. 1:00:00 – 1:07:29

   Wow. That's hardcore. …

   1. PJPunkie Johnson1:00:00

      I said, "I got a nine." He was like, "Fucking bitch ass gun." (laughs)

   2. JRJoe Rogan1:00:05

      Wow. That's hardcore.

   3. PJPunkie Johnson1:00:05

      He was like, "A nine?"

   4. JRJoe Rogan1:00:06

      What did he want you to get, a .45?

   5. PJPunkie Johnson1:00:07

      Peop- .40, .45, something.

   6. JRJoe Rogan1:00:10

      Jesus.

   7. PJPunkie Johnson1:00:10

      Something just... I was thinking lighter. He was like, "Nah." He's like, "The heavier it is, the better it is." He's like, ".45," you know-

   8. JRJoe Rogan1:00:20

      Yeah.

   9. PJPunkie Johnson1:00:20

      ... ".40." But, you know, it's like he always made sure we were responsible. Like, "Don't be out here stupid with this gun. Keep it locked up, keep it safe, go to the range. Understand your weapon."

   10. JRJoe Rogan1:00:28

       Yeah.

   11. PJPunkie Johnson1:00:29

       "Don't be out here wilding out. Don't use it to stunt. Don't use it, you know, for no validation in the hood. We don't, we don't have guns for all of that in my family."

   12. JRJoe Rogan1:00:37

       I saw the-

   13. PJPunkie Johnson1:00:37

       It's for the house.

   14. JRJoe Rogan1:00:38

       I saw the most fucked up video.

   15. PJPunkie Johnson1:00:39

       What?

   16. JRJoe Rogan1:00:40

       There's so many fucked up videos of people getting shot on Instagram now.

   17. PJPunkie Johnson1:00:43

       Yes.

   18. JRJoe Rogan1:00:43

       But I saw this one where these people were playing in a car and this girl pulls out her gun...... and accidentally shoots her friend in the head.

   19. PJPunkie Johnson1:00:51

       I hate that.

   20. JRJoe Rogan1:00:52

       And he just, like, slumps over and dies, like, right on the street. She was just pulling out a gun to show it, and they were all, they were all casual and laughing, and bang.

   21. PJPunkie Johnson1:01:01

       Yeah.

   22. JRJoe Rogan1:01:01

       The gun, the gun goes off and-

   23. PJPunkie Johnson1:01:02

       It's careless. She don't know what she doing.

   24. JRJoe Rogan1:01:04

       ... shoots him in the head. It was-

   25. PJPunkie Johnson1:01:04

       It's just careless. It's like, and you, and you going to jail. Even though it was an accident, you going to jail.

   26. JRJoe Rogan1:01:08

       Yeah, yeah.

   27. PJPunkie Johnson1:01:09

       Because, uh-

   28. JRJoe Rogan1:01:09

       And he's dead, and a man's dead.

   29. PJPunkie Johnson1:01:10

       Yeah.

   30. JRJoe Rogan1:01:11

       Yeah.
